Program Summary:
Clients that are chronically suicidal and/or stuck in lives of misery can be difficult to treat. The client may feel stuck and the therapist can too! Learning techniques to assess suicide risk, early intervention treatment options, and managing a clinician’s own fear are crucial in this field. There is a high probability that any clinician will encounter a self-harming or suicidal client over their professional career; the likelihood of a DBT® therapist treating a high acuity client is dramatically higher than their peers. It is crucial that DBT® therapists have an understanding of suicidal risk factors as well as a plan for assessing and treating. We will address how to focus on helping the client work toward their life worth living as the primary treatment for treating suicidality. Mind- fulness is a crucial tool in this process Clinician need to understand the relevance of mindfulness as both a tool for their clients as well as a tool for themselves. This training will help attendees learn methods to teach mind- fulness as well as learn to employ it as a strategy for their own stressors. We will also look at mindfulness as it can be used with children and adolescents!
Learning Objectives:
• Participants will review suicide risk factors.
• Participants will review best practices for suicide risk assessment.
• Participants will discuss interventions for serving suicidal clients.
• Participants will review the framework and benefits of a mindfulness practice
• Participants will discuss how to incorporate mindfulness practices with their clients.
Audience & Skill Level:
• Intermediate- this presentation is developed for mental health professionals (social workers, counselors, marriage and family therapists, etc.) who are using DBT Principles to serve suicidal and otherwise high-risk clients. There are no prerequisite trainings for this program; however, professionals with an understanding of DBT theory and application, as well as the DBT skills will benefit the most from this course.
